Looking for Laelia crawshayana

[xiphophorus]

Hi everybody. I'm new to this forum. Hope you can help. I've been wanting to buy a Laelia crawshayana, but haven't found any available. Does anybody know of a good source for them?

Thanks!

P.S. I guess I posted it on the wrong forum. Don't see a way to delete it/move it. Sorry about that.

Any time I'm looking for a true species orchid Andy's is my first call.

If x crawshayana is a natural hybrid of albida and anceps then it's more or less the same thing as Laelia x finckeniana/Finckeniana, which you might have an easier time finding.

Aside from Andy's, check with Fred Clarke at Sunset Valley Orchids, he sold out of a 'true' Finckeniana cross (the famous 'Kennedy's' clone seems unlikely to be anceps x albida) a couple of years ago but might still have one or two around. Dave Johnston at Jewell Orchids is a possible lead, he has many interesting Laelias in his breeding stock. Santa Barbara Orchid Estate is another likely place, they seem to specialize in temp-tolerant species and hybrids. Good luck!
